After hearing what the villagers around them said, Xu Chunhua and Aunt Wang's faces turned pale and they trembled and couldn't utter a word. The yelling and harsh look they had just now was completely gone.

The villagers had reacted by now, and almost all of them had figured out why Xu Chunhua did this, which was simply because she was not on good terms with Wen Shutang.

But it is really infuriating that innocent people like them are harmed just because of some personal grudges.

The villagers are the kind of people who don't care about anything that doesn't concern them and like to watch the fun the most. However, once the fun has something to do with themselves, they can no longer just laugh it off.

After all, no one wants to harm their own interests. The villagers looked at the mother and daughter angrily. They were used to being domineering in the village. The villagers didn't bother with them because they were in the same village after all.

But now the two of them have the intention of harming someone's life, which is different from the usual minor fights.

All the pent-up grudges broke out at this moment. The villagers pointed at the mother and daughter angrily and began to accuse them of the evil deeds they had done in the past.

"It was them. Xu Chunhua was idle and did nothing on weekdays, but she also loved to take advantage of others. She would come to my cornfield from time to time to steal corn. If it was just one or two, it would be fine, but she blatantly asked her relatives to go to my cornfield to pick corn. She took dozens of kilograms! I went to argue with her, but she said that there were so many corns in the field, so what was wrong with her taking some."

"That's right. My family has the same situation. Her mother is not a good person either. She relies on her eloquence to make excuses. Last time, she pushed our grandson down and broke a large piece of skin on his knee. Her mother said that my grandson was blind."

"Yes, these trivial matters are fine on ordinary days, but I didn't expect that today she would tamper with the banquet on someone else's wedding day just because she couldn't stand the girl from the Wen family. If we really ate this poisonous food today and something happened, the Wen family would be in trouble. This woman is so vicious. Not only did she come up with such a sinister method, but she also wanted to hurt innocent people like us!"

Everyone was talking about the crimes that Xu Chunhua and Aunt Wang had committed in the past. Everyone was so excited that no one could stop talking.

Some even picked up stones from the ground and threw them at Xu Chunhua.

Seeing this, Wen Shutang took a step forward and stood in front of Xiao Yizhuo to stop the villagers from doing so.

She didn't care about Xu Chunhua's life or death, she was just afraid that these villagers would lose their minds and hurt Xiao Yizhuo by throwing stones.

"Okay, everyone calm down."

Only when they saw Wen Shutang step forward to stop them did the villagers calm down.

Hearing the noisy noise in the yard, Liu Sufen and Wen Qing hurried out of the house.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Liu Sufen hurriedly pushed through the crowd and walked to Wen Shutang's side. Seeing this scene, she asked anxiously.

Wen Shutang briefly explained to her the whole story.

After understanding the cause of the incident, Liu Sufen immediately frowned, pinched her waist and pointed at Aunt Wang and cursed.

"You damned old witch! It's not enough that you make trouble on weekdays, and now you let your daughter come to my wedding banquet to cause trouble? If someone dies from eating this, my old Wen family will not be able to explain even if they have eighty mouths!"

Aunt Wang was still sitting on the ground in the same posture as before. Now, hearing Liu Sufen's scolding, she didn't dare to talk back. She just sat on the ground and avoided her eyes.

Seeing this, Aunt Sun walked out of the crowd and comforted Liu Sufen: "Sister-in-law, don't be too angry. Today is your second son's wedding day after all. As a mother-in-law, you can't get angry and ruin the happy mood. This mother and daughter are really too vicious. They actually want to kill the lives of the whole village. Why not ask the village chief to decide how to deal with them."

After hearing what Aunt Sun said, Liu Sufen gradually calmed down. Although she was angry, she didn't want to disrupt the joy of her son's marriage.

"That's great. I'll go call the village chief right now!" Liu Sufen nodded and said.

"Hey, the village chief is not here today. He went to the town to deliver something to the head of the pavilion. He will probably be back later. If he hadn't had something to do today, he would have come to the banquet with me." The person who spoke was the village chief's wife, Cui Qiuhong. She stood in the crowd holding Erfeng and explained.

Hearing what she said, the villagers became excited again, shouting that they would punish the mother and daughter immediately, which frightened Xu Chunhua and Aunt Wang so much that they trembled continuously.

Wen Shutang waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "Everyone calm down, this kind of thing is indeed infuriating, but today is my second brother's big day, we don't want to make him and his wife unhappy on their wedding day, so I think we should tie these two people up and lock them up in the woodshed, and make a decision after the village chief comes back. Let's finish the wedding first, we can't let my second brother and his wife be busy dealing with this unlucky thing on their big day."

When the villagers heard what Wen Shutang said, they thought it made sense and they all responded.

"Yes, it is more important to do things. We can't let these two troublemakers delay other people's wedding."

"That's right, then listen to the girl from the Wen family. Lock these two people up first, and then deal with them after the village chief comes back. There's no need to rush."

"Thank you very much for your understanding. Please go back to your seats first. Don't worry, I will replace the drugged ingredients and you will definitely be able to eat with peace of mind." Wen Shutang said loudly.

The villagers then returned to their seats. Xiao Yizhuo tied up the hands and feet of Xu Chunhua and Aunt Wang, and threw them into the woodshed like chickens. Fearing that their shouting and noise would disturb the festive atmosphere outside, Xiao Yizhuo considerately stuffed a rag that he usually used to wipe the stove into their mouths.

After doing all this, Xiao Yizhuo looked at his hands with disgust, then squatted by the well and washed his hands several times.

Wen Yaoshi, who came out after changing his clothes, had no idea what had just happened. Instead, he smiled and started toasting at each table.

Under the joint guard of Wen Shutang and Liu Sufen, no outsiders could enter the kitchen. They replaced all the ingredients and washed all the pots and pans several times.

Although the banquet started a little late, everyone unanimously did not mention this little episode to Wen Yaoshi.

After all, today is his wedding day, a major event in his life, and it’s better if he knows less about these upsetting things.
